Forrest as Windows-Service: Solution Firedeamon

Hi all,
I am not sure if this solves the same problem, but in my
opinion there 
is a non commercial solution.
If you run forrest as a webapp inside Tomcat, I think it is
possible to 
start Tomcat as a service.
See htt
p://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/JavaServiceWrapper.
Regards,
Gunther

Hi!

With 'forrest war' (and friends) you create a webapp that
you may
deploy in Tomcat but it is necessary to re-create it
everytime
there are changes in the XML sources.

Having 'forrest run' as a service the well-known and
excellent
in-place editing and on-demand rendering features [1] of
Forrest
work still the same. (End of advertisement)

Hi again,
I am not the commercial guy, so I won't put any
advertisments... 

We used the command  'forrest webapp'. 
We deployed the generated webapp under Tomcat only once.
We don't have to recreate any webapp when changing the XML
sources; all 
changes are immediately visible.

Regards,
Gunther

How do you do this?
You edit the files in the webapp directory, I suppose?
